I have some lovely pesos if you'd rather. Ooooh, how about Swiss currency? It's garishly tacky in its overuse of color. You can have that.

Hundreds of mutilations and deaths in the Netherlands ? There haven't been any such numbers over the last 25 years, where do come up with this ?

Comparing fireworks with shooting live ammo in the air is like comparing apples with bananas. Those rounds do eventually come down again, and in civilian areas that's not exactly recommendable, wouldn't you say so ?

[/QUOTE]Especially if there is a foreign military in the area that these rounds fall into.

What's so special about that ? Do parties where you live end before midnight or something ?

ROTFL! That's the worst argument you've used in ages. Do parties always end at kiddie bedtime over at your place? Sheeeesh.

Be reasonable, Melusine. If the attacks did occur at that hour (a fact still in question according to CNN) then he has a fair point.

You're right about one thing - it *did* turn into one hell of a party. Literally.
